Lifsey Spring, in Pike County, Georgia, is four miles or so from Zebulon. Warm water, below body temperature, nowhere near hot. It sits eighty feet off Lifsey Springs Road, so you will see it from the car. The record names no owner and carries no access status.
Low Piedmont country, under a thousand feet up, with a mild average year and close to fifty inches of rain. Snow is a dusting at most, an inch a year on average. Roadside access. Lifsey Springs Road runs right past, and the road name is the only link the record draws between the spring and anything around it.
Cooler months come out ahead in the season ranking. There is no campground within the record and no fee. Land ownership is blank, and a spring this close to a road in rural Georgia could sit on private property. Ask before you walk down to it.
